Questions


1. [20 points] Non-data questions.
a. (5 points) The study involves randomization of two treatments. What are these treatments? One of the main outcomes is take-up of ultrasonography. How is this measured?
b. (5 points) What is the identification strategy to find the causal effects of these treatments mentioned in part a.? What is the key assumption of this strategy?
c. (10 points) There are three hypotheses that are of interest (refer to manuscript). In part 2, you will be asked to test each of these hypotheses using the provided dataset. Here, for each hypothesis, write the regression specification that you will estimate to test the hypothesis.
2. [40 points] Data questions. For each question, report the results in a table and comment on the findings. Specifically, report the coefficient estimates along with the standard errors and $\mathrm{p}$-values and comment on the statistical significance. The variables that you are supposed to use are provided below each question.
a. (10 points) Conduct a balance check with baseline characteristics (listed below) to test if treatments were randomly assigned across different treatment groups. Report the results of the balance check in one table.

b. (10 points) Test Hypotheses A and B first without fixed effects in the regression and second with fixed effects in the regression. Do the results depend on the inclusion of fixed effects? Explain your answer.
